Stages

The pandemic has been a story of loss – but this gives us a clue on how to cope. Besides the tragic loss of life and health, there has been the loss of everyday freedoms, comfortable routines, interaction with family and friends, chances to socialise, opportunities to exercise and access to live entertainment. And what follows loss like night follows day? Grieving. Without knowing it, many of us have been experiencing the typical stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and, finally, acceptance. That’s perfectly natural. But don’t let yourself get stuck along the way. Keep moving on and up.
